Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Gospel Driven Discipleship

I went to a seminar over the weekend on Gospel driven discipleship. I was typing up some points for my women's Bible study so I thought I would post them here. This doesn't really do the info justice, but it gives you the main points (which are still good.)

Gospel Driven Discipleship:(Note: reference 2 Timothy 2:1-2 and Titus 2) When the Gospel is a hole of you, it will propel you forwards.

1. Doesn't focus on outward behavior.2. Focuses/pursues the soul/heart.3. HAS to be spirit driven.4. Has a willingness to walk into the darkness of our own hearts and others.5. Boldness to speak the truth-not just give easy answers.6. Initiate and persist (especially with younger ages/students)7. With Children: a. Immerse them in scripture. b. Live it everyday. c. Our God is not going anywhere. d. Make your home a haven. e. Have kids be attracted to Jesus in your life. f. Be available.8. Stop and listen: help those around you where they are.9. Be sure to use the word every time. "Nothing is a stumbling block to the man who has the word of God in him." -Charles Spurgeon.10: Other references: Psalm 78:1-4, Deut. 6: 5-9, I Thess. 2:8

Carrie, were you at my church this weekend? Our PresWic hosted the Gospel Driven Discipleship. I loved it! Had to leave before lunch was over due to other stuff. If you were at SEPC, I am so sorry we didn't get to meet.
